Does anyone know of any other time where they jammed out on a U.S Blues like this?

I always like reading everybody's reviews before I write my own. And the concensus from many is that this show is somehow recorded (or better put, played back) fast. With the overall year of 1974 reminding me of a twelve month long, group qualuude trance, my impression is the same. But if this really is actual speed, this is a very peppy show for 1974. Either way, I don't have any problems with it since I like the up-tempo feel. And the matrix is very well done too. I've added the usual extra reverb in Soundforge to soften the SBD vocals a bit. But in saying that, Jerry is in especially good voice tonight which is a plus. Any time Jerry is in superior voice, I try to add a star - just for it's rarity.

Roses right out of Half Step is a treat which I don't think I've ever heard before, and the U.S. Blues Jam into Promised Land is a hoot. Not being an archive purist, I took some artistic liberties and mixed Bertha > M&MU > Mexicali for my own naughty pleasure. And having Brokendown in the middle of the 2nd was just too weird, so I used it as a more natural encore since J.B.Goode seemed like a good set closer. Thank god for editing software!

This is a very listenable, solid four star show that, with the matrix, I'm going to up to five stars which I do very rarely. I don't consider this a "bells and whistles" blowout "X" Factor show. But this is a thoroughly professional, straight-ahead presentation with a decent finale; a reserved Donna; only one recording flaw (that David handled very well); good instrument clarity with no bad or overly hot vocals; no cheese - and no complaints from me. Thanks Mr. Usborne for your fine work on this new creation. Highly recommended.

Another great 74 show,and a matrix to boot! Great sound,decent 74 setlist with a monster Playin to end set 1.Good variation in set2 but i dont see any big jam numbers(other one etc) but ive yet to hear the rest..

A heck of a place to see the Grateful Dead.
